Every writer loves a writing challenge...doing something a little different to keep the creativity muscles flexed!
I don't write a lot of f/f stories but every once in a while I get an idea and go with it! Crushed is a f/f paranormal (shifter) erotic romance short story.

CHRISTMAS IN DREAMLAND
Dr. Meg Lyle is a classic geek working on a top secret project deep within a military research base. Being stuck on a project over the holidays sucks, but when three hot members of security make her dreams come true, she knows there’s more to their story than they’re revealing. Are these sexy military studs men in black or aliens? The truth may throw her ordered life into disarray, but either way, Meg’s sex life is now out of the world!

BACK IN DREAMLAND
Over a year ago, four sexy aliens crashed to Earth and seduced Liz, the doctor who saved them. The captives showed her passion she’d never imagined, but when Dreamland’s commander found out, the men were sent away. Now they’re back, and Liz isn’t letting go this time. They have a lot of lost time to make up for in bed, but to earn their freedom, the men have to share all their knowledge of the aliens and prove their loyalty at the secret military base. Liz has no doubts and, this time, no shame about her special men.

Blurb:
Secrets have haunted Bonnie Hastings’ life, but the answers were always hidden from her. After a close encounter, aliens leave her on the military base, Dreamland, and she’s found by her college boyfriends—three men who left her five years ago and have a secret of their own.
Group love was once part of Bonnie’s rebellion, but now, it looks like a big setup. She needs to discover what’s going on because there’s no escape from Dreamland. Of course, Bonnie doesn’t want to give up the three sexiest men she’s ever met—they just have to prove their love is real and tell her the whole truth.
Excerpt:
The lights outside of Bonnie Hastings’ bedroom were
too bright, even for living in Reno. Her apartment on the outskirts of the city
faced the rugged surroundings, not the casinos. She kicked off the flat sheet
and grabbed her camera. The aurora borealis was amazing this year and much
further south than normal.
When she opened the window, Bonnie saw that it wasn’t
the northern lights. Something was hovering out there. She hung out the window
trying to get a decent look and snap a few pictures. Wouldn’t her old neighbor
love to see her like this? Nearly falling out of the window naked! The chill was
too much, and she still couldn’t see. Clothes and a trip outside were her best
options.
Bonnie slid back inside.
Before she could grab a robe or even close the window,
she felt it. The light hit her, and it was more than just high wattage. The beam
had force. It pulled her, and she lost her grip on the camera as she was sucked
through the window, and the world went fuzzy.
* * * *
When Bonnie woke, she found herself in a metallic
chamber on a table. She tried to sit up but couldn’t.
“What the hell?” she demanded. Nothing appeared to be
holding her down.
“Relax, you’ll enjoy this.” The raspy voice came from
above or was it in her head? She couldn’t tell.
“Let me go. Put me back!” Bonnie hadn’t done anything
to cause this sort of dream. No drugs since college, no drinking and no horror
flicks to cause nightmares.
The light over her changed to radiate heat as well.
The warmth seemed to trigger her nerve endings. Scooting on the table, Bonnie
couldn’t believe she was actually able to move now. She looked around for a
sense of place. Never one to be ashamed of her body, she didn’t care if all of
Nevada saw her naked, but this wasn’t a peep show. This felt more like an alien
abduction. After her whole life looking up, she’d never had any close
encounters. Hell, she’d never seen a UFO! She was no fool! Her father’s secret
work on an Air Force base in the middle of the Nevada desert always made her
suspicious. Lights in the sky were nothing new to her but she’d never had any
closer encounter than that. Why now?
Three nude male figures appeared around her, all good
looking with brown hair and eyes, their heights and features varied. She knew
them. College graduation had been only five years ago. How could she forget her
sexy boyfriends? Pierce was the leader, Zane the funny one and Adonis the
brooding romantic. They were all amazing lovers and a team no woman would
forget.
“What are we doing here?” she asked.
“Don’t you want us?” Adonis kissed her
shoulder.
Bonnie shook her head. Her body ached for them. Once
she’d tried three men, just one wasn’t the same. But this wasn’t
right.
“You want us.” Zane licked over her many tattoos. From
the flowers on her ankle to the moon and sun on her hips, he made sure her skin
hummed for the three of them.
“Of course, I do, but you left me. You said you had to
go off for training and poof! you’re gone.” She sat up.
“We didn’t want to.” Pierce held her hand and eased
next to her on the cold table.
He pulled her in and kissed her. Bonnie relaxed and
took in his body heat. His legs naturally spread hers and that zing of arousal
sped through her body. Lying back, she knew it had to be a dream. She tried to
pinch herself, but Adonis held her arms over her head and guided them to his
erection.
Playing with his long member, Bonnie watched Pierce
kiss down her body and lick her pussy. Zane leaned in, sucking her
breasts.
“We really didn’t want to leave you.” Zane’s urgent
touch convinced her.
Wet and ready, she lifted her hips, and Pierce nipped
at her clit in return. They could eat her all day, but she needed more. Three
men who loved sex with her, especially oral, and loved to fuck each other—it’d
felt like a dream in college. She’d missed them so much.
Her hands caressed their bodies as Pierce finally
pressed his long cock to her cunt. The man could be a tease with his
self-control. How could it be a dream? Bonnie felt every inch of him as he
stretched her. When Zane kissed her, she pulled him in and deepened it. One hand
still stroking Adonis, her tongue curled with Zane’s.
Pierce finally fucked her right, and her hips rocked
with him, desperate for the release. It felt so right. Natural. In college, it
had been a rebellion thing. Her overbearing father had demanded that she be a
good girl and go into a safe career. All she’d wanted was free love, no war or
hunger. He’d called her a hippie. So she’d gone to college and found three men
who made rebelling feel so easy.
It took them leaving her after graduation for her to
realize it’d had nothing to do with rebellion or her father. She’d fallen in
love with all of them. Unconventional was her normal, and there was no one to
blame but herself.
Pierce’s thrusts sped up, and Bonnie tried to sit or
rollover, something to get more of her men. But they kept her in missionary, a
very dull position, but it felt so good she couldn’t fight them.
The window. The ship. The lights. Was that a dream?
She tried to focus, but everything beyond their group was pitch black. If it was
a dream, she’d repeat this night after night. Kick back and enjoy the
sex.
“Relax, we just want to love you. It’s been so long.”
Adonis kissed her then Pierce.
Watching the two sexy male forms in a rough kiss sent
Bonnie’s insides into a twist. The force of her orgasm pressed her hips to the
table as she shouted for Pierce never to stop. He worked harder, and his climax
was muffled in Adonis’ mouth. When they let go of each other, Pierce gently
relinquished his spot, and Adonis flipped onto the table and was atop of
her.
The superhuman strength and moves… It couldn’t be
real. If this was a dream, she’d be happy to let it play out and never wake up.
Groping Adonis’ gorgeous arms up to his shoulders, she again tried to sit up,
but they all held her.
“What? No other positions allowed?” she
asked.
“Not today. Enjoy. Lie back and let us serve you.”
Adonis’s huge hands worked over her body and teased her pussy with one finger,
then two. Bonnie moaned for something bigger. Squeezing his fingers, she looked
for Zane. Maybe they’d let her suck on something at least.
Zane’s mouth was occupied, sucking Pierce’s spent
member. Zane loved getting fucked by his men, and Bonnie loved that part of it
as well. She reached out for them, but Pierce shook his head. Adonis spread his
fingers inside her, and Bonnie arched.
“Fuck me! What’s wrong with you guys?” she
demanded.
Finally, Adonis rubbed his cock along her slit, and
she locked eyes with him. As if bending to her will, he filled her in one
stroke. The tension melted and built again. Wrapping her arms around his neck,
she shifted her hips to drive him crazy. When her eyes drifted to Zane and
Pierce, she saw that Zane wasn’t just sucking for fun while he waited. He was
getting Pierce hard again. Zane’s tongue was behind Pierce’s sac while his hand
worked the head.
A marathon? She saw Zane’s hard cock bobbing as he
moved. That man wanted to fuck her, as well. Zane needed his men, and it turned
her on how natural and shameless he was about his adoration of cock. She loved
it too, but he was addicted to his two men.
Adonis slowly thrust in and out of her. He was the
patient one who loved to watch. Deliberately, she squeezed his cock, and he
groaned. Bonnie smiled up at him, and he sped up his efforts. Adonis buried his
face in her neck and rocked her faster and faster. He knew the spot and hit it
until she lost control.
Shaking, Bonnie screamed as her body clenched. She
wanted to hold onto that pleasure forever. Adonis grunted, and she felt the rush
of his release. A soft kiss later and he slid back, holding onto the table for
support. Zane’s mouth was now on hers. Again, she tried to sit up and Zane
pinned her into the traditional sex pose with his gorgeous body.
“Don’t you want me any other way?” she
asked.
“We want you every way. There’s no rush. It’s been so
long. We want to see you. Watch you.” Zane thrust home fast.
Bonnie trembled and arched. So good! Zane loved the
never-ending sex with breaks of making out and fingering each other while the
pleasure and intimacy continued. It was college all over again. She dug her
nails into his back and lifted for more. Zane fucked her slow. He also loved to
drag things out if he could. She looked down at him. He was pressed to her, but
the arch of his back suggested he wanted more.
Then the real fun began. Pierce’s lubed fingers worked
on Zane’s ass. She craned her neck to see Pierce hard for his man. With no
effort, Pierce hopped on the table and crouched behind Zane as he filled that
well-used ass. Everything was still until Zane moaned. Then Pierce knelt in and
kissed Zane’s neck as they fucked.
A few strokes and they found a pattern that extended
to fucking Bonnie, as well. The view of the two men sent her hormones spiking.
Adonis stood next to her, massaging her breasts as if they were treasures. Most
guys preferred girls with bigger assets, but these three had always shown great
affection for her smaller chest and slim figure. The way Adonis’ fingers worked
her nipples, Bonnie knew the men didn’t think of her as one of the
guys.
Zane’s groans as Pierce drilled him hard fed Bonnie’s
lust, and every time Pierce filled Zane, Zane fucked her. The sparks and the
connection made her feel dizzy. That wasn’t normal. Plenty of times in college,
she’d had Adonis in her pussy and Zane in her ass while Pierce took Zane. This
wasn’t new or a stretch.
She’d missed it!
Adonis reached down and rubbed her clit as Zane drove
faster.
Moaning, she let the orgasm spread, but every time she
opened her eyes the guys seemed fuzzy. She couldn’t focus, and as Zane filled
her again, a second orgasm turned everything black.

Back in Dreamland is out:)
Book 2 of the 7th Kind Series is now available!! This series is so much fun:D I'm currently working on Book 3 Lost in Dreamland...

Four hot aliens and the woman that lost them once...
Blurb:
Over a year ago, four sexy aliens crashed to Earth and seduced Liz, the doctor who saved them. The captives showed her passion she’d never imagined, but when Dreamland’s commander found out, the men were sent away. Now they’re back, and Liz isn’t letting go this time. They have a lot of lost time to make up for in bed, but to earn their freedom, the men have to share all their knowledge of the aliens and prove their loyalty at the secret military base. Liz has no doubts and, this time, no shame about her special men.
Excerpt:
When one goes from sharing a bed with someone to sleeping alone, it feels lonely. When one goes from sharing with four hot men to none, no amount of pillows or sex toys can replace them.
As Liz walked into the lab where she’d worked for years, she felt lost. She’d met the men of her dreams here and had lost them thanks to her employer. Unfortunately, her options had been limited when her four aliens were taken to another location by the most secret part of the government.
Rumor was they were back now. Her lab partner, Meg, was a biologist who’d helped her care for the men. She’d sent Liz a few texts, and Liz knew Meg couldn’t tell her everything. Meg was a good friend, and she wouldn’t lie. Until Liz saw them for herself, however, she couldn’t let herself believe it. She needed to hold them or it would seem as if it was all just a dream.
A cold containment pod stood there in the lab, and Liz paused. The door was slightly open, and it sent a shiver down her back. Had something gone wrong?
She dropped her bag and sprinted to the pod, pushing open the door and expecting the worst—an empty cell.
Liz gasped in relief. Her four guys were there.
Regon ran up, and she hugged him tightly. He was the leader of the four men. His strong arms held her as her knees gave out. She buried her face in his neck. His smell was what convinced her. Their skin had a sweetness to it that wasn’t human at all. The aliens could change their appearance, but her guys played it safe. Brown hair and brown eyes. The variations in height and other details could be faked, but she knew her men. The way they touched her was possessive and intimate. Deep down they were amazingly good and patient considering what they’d been through. While many on Earth found the alien mating habits odds, Liz fell right into their arms. How could she not?
“Liz, we missed you.” Regon kissed her cheek.
Sed brushed her hair to the side and pressed a kiss to the back of her neck. Her tension started to melt away. They were real and here. She kissed Regon’s mouth hungrily then turned to give Sed the same treatment.
“You’re okay?” she asked.
“We’re fine now.” Regon stepped back and stared at her.
A small ball of fur darted out the door, then Regon closed the door for privacy. Jal and Moder, her two favorite to watch when they were intimate together, walked up shoulder-to-shoulder and smiled. She hugged them both and let them squeeze her tightly between them.
“Are you okay?” Moder asked.
Liz stepped back and nodded. “I’m fine. You’re not locked up? You’re not guarded? What’s going on?”
Regon tugged her coat off her shoulders. “Meg yanked a few strings on our behalf. They won’t give us regular quarters, and the lab is locked. We can’t leave without security.”
“Pulled strings. But that’s Meg. She’s such a good friend. I wish I’d been here when they brought you back. Why are you here? What’s going on?” Liz sat on the edge of one of four cots pushed together to make one big bed.
Jal sat next to her. “Don’t worry about anything. You saved our lives when we were hurt in the crash. Meg did the best she could, but the military wants us here for something.”
“The alien abductions in the last few months have spiked. Abductions by our people, the Keelons. There are more going on in waves, and it’s overwhelming the tracking systems. Your government can’t contain it. They need to find something to help defend humans.” Sed shook his head.
Their human mimicking had improved so much. “Like you guys know anything about the abductions. You’re soldiers. It’s not your fault you crashed. Where did they have you?”
“A few hours away. Colder environment,” Regon replied.
“They think we have information about what the Keelons want. Taking us away from you didn’t make us talk so bringing us back is a new strategy.” Sed shrugged.
“Really? Seems dangerous to me. I’d do anything to be with you guys.” Liz leaned on Jal’s strong shoulder. They were all gorgeous figures of men, and her pulse pounded to fully reacquaint her body with theirs.
“We wouldn’t tell them anything until they brought us back to you.” Jal nodded.
She slid her hands over his chest that was covered by a gray T-shirt. He was the practical one who’d never lie to her. “I know how fast you guys heal. Did they hurt you?”
Big-hearted Moder knelt in front of her. “Nothing could be worse than being taken away from you.”
“You four had each other. But you’re talking to the government now? Are they going to set you free?” Liz wanted good news and time alone with them.
The tense looks the men exchanged told her she wasn’t going to get her dream, at least not yet.
“You’re here now. Everything will be fine.” Regon folded his arms.
Liz trusted them, but the feeling that they were holding back something hit her. Looking at the closed door, she shifted her gaze to meet Regon’s.
“What aren’t you telling me?” she asked.
Sed smiled. “Don’t worry about it. Meg and her security guys made some strides in speaking on our behalf, and we might be able to help and be freed.”
Liz smiled at the hope. Sed was the smartest and most technically advanced of the four, but was he correctly seeing the military men? “Meg and her security guys? I know she’s advocated for you. I’ll do everything I can, but you have to share your knowledge with the military, or they’ll never let you walk free.”
“As long as the Keelons are visiting Earth with less than peaceful intentions, we’ll never be free or safe. No matter what any of us do,” Regon said.
“What do the Keelons want? Worst case, what will they do?” Liz didn’t know how to fix the situation. She was a doctor who’d treated unexplained injuries with experimental methods. She wasn’t afraid, but she wasn’t a fighter.
Jal plucked at the buttons on her blouse. “Don’t focus on that, Liz. We have no idea what’s happened since we crashed. Their circumstances could’ve changed. Worrying won’t help.”
“You’re keeping things from me.” She stood and walked away. As much as she loved them, she knew they weren’t human. The government suspected them of being sent to spy on Earth. The possibility that the crash had been staged had been eventually ruled out. The damage and the injuries were too severe. If it had been a set up, it had gone very wrong.
Liz cared for them. She’d seen their pain and fear of the unknown over a year ago. They weren’t spies; they were victims. She believed they’d taken the ship to escape, but the military had never truly bought it. Proving loyalty wasn’t as easy as a blood test.
Regon stepped up behind her. “Worst case? The Keelons could take over Earth. Their technological superiority is unquestionable. They could make us all slaves, but controlling a planet so far away from their home would be more work than benefit. Especially when Earth isn’t a big threat. Please stop worrying. We’ll cooperate, as long as the government doesn’t separate us again.”
Liz turned and looked at the men she loved. Passion and intimacy were one thing, but they hadn’t had enough time together to build trust so deep it was unshakeable even if she wanted to have blind faith in them. “How can we fight the Keelons? I know we’ve been trying, but we need to be able to defend ourselves.”
Sed chuckled. “Don’t worry. Your friend, Meg, had a breakthrough. Hopefully, we helped her a little. There’s a lot for you to catch up on.”
“Really?” Liz smiled. “I knew Meg would figure it out. She’s got the kind of genius that can be good or bad.”
“You’re all good.” Moder slid up behind her and wrapped his arms around her body.
“I wish.” Liz let Moder’s lips on her neck slow her thoughts. She wanted to be good. To be strong enough to stand up for her men and set them free. Of course, if Meg had succeeded in creating a biological weapon, it could be used on Liz’s men as well as any invading Keelons.
Liz was stuck on the nightmare for the moment then stopped thinking about it. Instead, she gave into what all of them needed. She pulled Regon in for a kiss and held him tight.
